I hate to ask what might be a potentially already-asked question, but is there any hope of implementing adhoc wifi connections? I do have a wireless router at home, which is great, but I was grandfathered into Verizon's unlimited data plan on my DroidX while my tablet is limited to a paltry 2gb a month. I can chew through that in 2 days with the awesome throughput of 4G. I'd love to be able to adhoc my Xoom to my DroidX but going over some of the search results, it appears that the NetLink lib that ICS uses makes adhoc almost impossible.

Have the devs made any progress on implementing adhoc networking? Or is there an alternative I could use? I'd use Bluetooth but for some reason (not sure, it might be the Bluetooth hardware in the DroidX) the throughput is only a couple hundred kbps, which is ridiculously slow. Plus, some of the app development I do makes an adhoc connection directly to my desktop (so I can packet sniff) an almost must-have feature. :)
[Xoom Android Development] dellenrules:
I never had to use adhoc yet, but I the Team Rogue ICS CM9 from supports ad-hoc.

I personally like the EOS roms a lot better due to it being very stable.

One feature I wish that EOS would add is the superuser interface that CM9 has in their settings menu.

The adhoc feature for ICS Roms is out there, but if EOS is what you prefer, like myself, then I would just wait on them to add it.
[Xoom Android Development] bigrushdog:
Incorrect. The mod is not out there.The rogue build only lets you see adhoc. That is due to TDR's kernel patch and mrdeadlocked's supplicant patch. The fix as a whole is not complete, yet.

I Can tether my phone using opengarden. It's in the market
[Xoom Android Development] Mjamocha:
NVM
[Xoom Android Development] otis_bartleh:
I'm confused... Why don't people like the built-in tethering? I've used it a ton on all nightlies and Cornerstone nightlies I've ran. I only run into slight speed problems during the day, and only every now and again, but that might be my cinder-block building I work in.

I have unlimited data on my Xoom and tether my phone during the day at the office to save on battery...
[Xoom Android Development] sudermatt:
Unlimited data on the phone....2GB on the Xoom.
[Xoom Android Development] Mjamocha:
Resolved -
[Xoom Android Development] dellenrules:
Thanks for the clarification. As i mentioned, i haven't tried it myself.

Never had to use adhoc since i was always around wifi.

When i had a drop, i used connectify from my laptop.
[Xoom Android Development] rdnckreaper:
what I am saying it that I have tested my xoom with multiple ics roms, including the one for this thread, and I have tested it with the stock as well. On stock my download speed is twice what it is with these roms. So i was wondering if the xoom worked the same way as my cappy. When I install a new rom on my cappy I have to also install the jl2 modem to get my network working the way it should. I am just curious if the xoom is that way and if it is then where could I find a list of modem drivers for the xoom.
[Xoom Android Development] dellenrules:
No
[Xoom Android Development] rdnckreaper:
so if the xoom only has one modem driver then what is going on with my 3g and the fact that is won't even download at 1mb on speedtest when it is full bars of service?
[Xoom Android Development] Mjamocha:
Can EOS fix the Gallery? It used to be neat and organized, now It's blurry and out of sorts. It has been this way for the last 6 Builds. Has anyone else noticed this?
[Xoom Android Development] dellenrules:
.....So you do know that Verizon 3g is slower than T-Mobile and at&t right?

The fastest I have ever seen on a Verizon device was 1.5Mbps... but that was with one of their global phones and I was on a GSM network in Dubai.

Verizon 3G is the slowest, but they have the best coverage. I get a signal almost everywhere in the US. Can't say the same about T-Mobile or at&t.

The Xoom has a 3G and a 4G modem. If your in a 4G area then use 4G. Using 3G will give you between .8 and 1.5 Mbps down.

My 3G has not decreased when I flashed this Rom. Neither has my 4G. Not sure why you have issues.

I don't use the speedtest.com app to test my speeds, but rather the bandwidthplace.com website. It yields much more accurate results.

Not sure why your speeds are so different from stock though.
[Xoom Android Development] runandhide05:
Its the new 404 gallery...
[Xoom Android Development] Schaweet:
One thing I've noticed on Gmail when you delete an email.

The popup bar that says "2 emails deleted" actually displays it at <b>2</b> emails deleted. Looks like a little coding error in Gmail. This has probably been posted already but I haven't seen it. Doesn't do this on my DX running gummy so thought it may be the eos gapps.
[Xoom Android Development] Mjamocha:
Thanks, that gallery suckz monkey ballz - However that gallery view was the same for 4.0.3 as well. :confused:
[Xoom Android Development] TheRandom1:
I haven't received any updates in over a week, is this still being updated?
[Xoom Android Development] Mjamocha:
Last update is 76. They are working on another, and looking at the change log - Mods Galore. It will be of EPIC Proportions!. Be patient my friend!

---------- Post added at 11:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:30 AM ----------

Which GAPP pack are you using? If you are still on 4.0.3 - that might be part of your issue. (maybe) I'm running all Black GAPPs 4.0.4/4.0.5 and no issues. That's odd.
[Xoom Android Development] TheRandom1:
Oh good. Up until this I had a new one seemingly every day so I was a bit concerned.
[Xoom Android Development] rob62551:
That's why I use QuickPic. Well organized and far better than current Gallery.

BTW love your description LOL.
[Xoom Android Development] Mjamocha:
LoL, I use this Mod'd one as well :
[Xoom Android Development] rockjock2020:
can you share the link for that gapps?
[Xoom Android Development] rob62551:
Sure would like link to that mod. Thanks!

Also gapps?
[Xoom Android Development] bigrushdog:
Mj... Take a deep breath... And visualize ... what happens when you have decompiled apks all over your storage? When you have mdpi 32px pngs blown up in the gallery? .nomedia is your friend. :p

Oh, and happy Easter xoomers!
[Xoom Android Development] rob62551:
Happy Easter BRD & All
[Xoom Android Development] Mjamocha:
Yeah, thanks (takes breath) ... - i figured that out and cleaned it up. Happy Easter to you and your family as well.

backup weirdness

I'm having an issue recovering to my last nandroid/backup I made while in recovery. Here's what I did...

1.) Made a backup in recovery of Nightly 75 (running Solarnz CWM Recovery 3.2.0.0) off to my SD card.

2.) Wipe Data/Factory Reset (not normally something I do... 1st mistake)

3.) Wipe cache (this is when I realized my mistake from #2)

4.) Wipe Dalvik cache

5.) Installed Nightly 76, gapps, facelock

6.) It rebooted into a clean OS... I realized what I had done, so I thought I would just reinstall the backup from recovery...

7.) I rebooted back into recovery

8.) Wipe Data/Factory Reset again

9.) Wipe cache

10.) Wipe Dalvik cache

11.) Restore the backup of 75, and reboot.

12.) When I come back up in 75, I am greeted with error upon error... my ADW launcher won't run, error running thumbkeyboard, error running File Manager HD, error running virtually any program...

13.) I did it again, same steps, same results...

Where did I go wrong, and what can I do to get my backup of 75 running again cleanly, or am I hosed and have to start from scratch? Is the backup I made a bad backup? Has anyone experienced this one before?

Thank you,

Mike

UPDATE: I applied a nandroid backup from 74, and that one restored just fine... no problems. I'm guessing I'll use this as my recovery point... but I would still like to know why 75 won't work, eventhough it passes the CRC check and everything. I always thought that nandroid backups were infallible. :(
[Xoom Android Development] Mjamocha:
Don't do the factory reset, or cache wipes of any kind. Once in recovery Go straight to restore.

Sounds like it might be an SDcard mount issue, after the factory reset.
[Xoom Android Development] MisterKrispy:
I searched the thread and saw this mentioned but no solutions.... Has anyone figured out a solution for the issue with the screen coming on randomly?
[Xoom Android Development] SamuriHL:
Sadly, no. :( It seems to happen when you get notifications. New email, CNN news, facebook notification, etc. All those events wake up the screen. Drives me insane at night but I've learned to hit the damn button in my sleep now. :)
[Xoom Android Development] Schaweet:
Two options:

1. Stop cuddling your Xoom at night and put it in the other room.

2. Cuddle it with the screen facing the pillow.

:D
[Xoom Android Development] Mjamocha:
He He He ...:p
[Xoom Android Development] rob62551:
Nice mods added in nightly 77

Team EOS is giving us some mod love!

Nice being able to add quick launches to status bar.

Also any color for the status bar clock as well!

Thanks EOS:)
[Xoom Android Development] Vnvjeep:
Thanks... I'll give that a shot if it doesn't work again next time. I don't do a heck of alot of factory resets, but had been doing them all weekend on my OG droid so it just felt natural after I got the latest build on my Xoom. Whoops... :)
[Xoom Android Development] chrisnathan1983:
Definitely loving the status bar quick launch!
[Xoom Android Development] SamuriHL:
LOL. Of course! Why didn't I think of that. :D
[Xoom Android Development] Mjamocha:
I had the same kind of issue while using that recovery. It happens sometimes. But now I'm on Rogue Recovery ... Awesome!!

[Xoom Android Development] mptpro:
Ever since installing n77 I can'ts restore my backups using Titanium Backup Pro. I get the error "Guru caught fire during calculations, Seriously, what for a Titanium Backup pro version is this ?"

this never happend before?

I wiped, installed n77 again, same error.

Something in the ROM?
[Xoom Android Development] runhopskipjump:
I have the same issue. The I emailed the titanium backup dev this morning thinking it was the recent app update. Perhaps it could be the ROM?

Xoom 4G + Team EOS ICS nightlies = WIN
[Xoom Android Development] rob62551:
I have the same issue. Tried re-installing my pro key. Didn't work. By chance I used Root Explorer and went into system/apps and found Titanium Backup apk file. Clicked on it and installed it. Titanium Backup now works until a reboot. Bottom line I'd have to do this with each reboot.

Hopefully EOS will fix soon.

Just extracted Titanium Backup apk from Nightly 76 and replaced it into Nightly 77 and Titanium Backup works and I rebooted a few times and it seems to work. I can access all features of Titanium Pro.

So, I'm guessing the apk file for Titanium Backup in Nightly 77 is bad?
[Xoom Android Development] mptpro:
I suspect you are right. I reverted to n76 and everything worked.
[Xoom Android Development] rob62551:
"The titanium backup apk is direct from the Titanium Backup website, and is downloaded for each build.

We do not modify the Titanium Backup application."

Direct quote from solarnz as he responded to me in another thread. Someone else stated he was having same problem in the wingray build.

So, it looks like Titanium Backup might have had an update that doesn't like keeping pro key working. So, hopefully we'll see an update from tibu.

For now my fix is working for me still on 77 and tibu is working.
[Xoom Android Development] bigrushdog:
TB wonked out on me too. I just uninstalled and reinstalled from market. Works fine now. And I didn't mess with the key apk. Btw we're just getting warmed up on the ui mods. I have one now ready to push but the doctor gave me Vicodin so I'm kinda high atm. Maybe I can push before the buildbot kicks in.
[Xoom Android Development] rob62551:
Push push push LOL

Hope you get to feeling better!
[Xoom Android Development] bigrushdog:
Oh I feel great atm :D:D:D. Its just battery text color change. Nothing epic. But I gotta confess. SOLARNZ IS A ANDROID JAVA BEAST!!! This quick setting mod is just bad ass!
[Xoom Android Development] johnny0911:

I'm excited for all the stuff coming down the line!!
[Xoom Android Development] Pihrana:
I'm on Nightly 76, but have been having this Issue for the past few nightlies....

GMail is no longer pushing E-mails. E-mail from Hotmail is still being pushed but not Gmail? Anyone got any idea's how I can get Gmail working again?

According to the App I'm on Version 4.0.3-239789. When I try to update it, I get the following error message.

Package file was not signed correctly. Uninstall previous copy of the app and try again.

Should I try a different GApps? Using EOS_GApps_ics_4.0.3_v10.5.zip at the moment which I thought was the latest?

Any help is greatly apprieciated...

UPDATE: Uninstalled previous version using TB, and tried to update from market. Doesn't install as it says incompatible version. :( Still trying to find a fix...

UPDATE 2: Installed gapps-ics-20120317-signed.zip and its fixed Gmail. However, my Music app no longer plays everything... Comes up with an error message :( Fix one thing and break another :-)

I recommend starting a fresh thread in themes/apps for this. It will easier for you to maintain on your terms instead of buried here. Also, if it borks, I don't have to hear about it here. :p
[Xoom Android Development] Mjamocha:
Love the Mods for 77
[Xoom Android Development] dellenrules:
I'm not sure how to fix your TB issue. TB worked fine for me after I updated.

As for your music, I find that if you clear data for the app in settings, run the music app, then log into your account. It tends to fix things.

I hope that helps you out.
[Xoom Android Development] stevefxp:
What I have done in the past is use Root Explorer to delete the apk from SYSTEM/APP, reboot, and then let the Market re-install.
[Xoom Android Development] MisterKrispy:
So I don't want to jinx this... but when I updated to .77, the random screen issue has stopped... :cool:
[Xoom Android Development] bababe:
Is it me or it always show a pop up saying starting program on every boot.?

:confused::confused:

No big problem but it really becomes hard on the eyes. I have startup auditor disables all the app at start up the popup still appears...

One more thing that doesnt make sense to me is the MOBILE DATA app. Sine we all use Wingray here, that app has no use at all right.

any thought guys

nandroid question

Guys and Gals,

Quick nandroid backup question if you don't mind. I am using CWM 3.2.0.0 by solarnz. My data.img seems to have hit the 4GB file size limit on my FAT32 formatted 32GB MicroSD card. I tried formatting the card ext2 but it was not recognized. Is there a work-around for this issue besides uninstalling apps? It would be cool if recovery could create rolling files (.001, .002, etc) when it reaches the 4GB size. With 64GB of total space (32GB internal and 32GB external), I don't want to be restricted to 4GB. Thanks!
[Xoom Android Development] bigrushdog:
Transparency on the statbar is a bit wonky still. But I figured users could live with a colored statbar until I fix it.

Looks like the percent was taken out of the Text Battery option and it can be colored. Not sure how long thats been available. The No Clock option is sticking better. The noticeable changes are under EOS > Interface > Statusbar the addition of Status bar settings and Quick launch actions are now available.

Does anyone know what that Chinese system app is? Called something like (chinese chars)404-eng.build-slave-20120413-021905? Stuff like this always makes me a bit worried.
[Xoom Android Development] mptpro:
Crap. Installed n78 and have the problem with Titanium Backup again as in n76.

"Guru caught fire during calculations" - perhaps its better they don't include it at all. Problme is that uninstalling and reinstalling TB doesn't fix it.

I contacts TB and they say it's not on their end and they suspect it is an outdated version .

Update: I installed n79 - same problem

I just got my Xoom upgraded to lte and installed this. Really nice I do admit good job. But I have had notice of couple updates but been skeptical to install it. Question is if i install the update(s) would it wipe my Xoom where I would have to restore everything? Naturally I would do a backup before.

Thanks.
[Xoom Android Development] SamuriHL:
Not usually. I generally wipe the cache and dalvik only. Seems to work. Every once in a while you may want to do a full wipe just to clear out the cobwebs (I should really do so as I haven't since I started using this rom back in January). But for the most part just update, wipe cache and dalvik, and you're good to go.
[Xoom Android Development] Vnvjeep:
Chinese system app

Commenting on my earlier post... it seems to have been renamed to a solarnz app. Any ideas what this is? Solarnz? Loaded with nightly 79. See screenshot and let me know if you see the same thing? BTW... you can find it on the bottom of the list under apps -> all apps.

Edit... need to find a pc to attach my screenshot ....grrr.

Edit#2... posted.

Edit#3... apparently its some sort of Pinyin decoder service.

xoom battery hog

Over the last couple of updates, my Xoom has become a real battery hog. From the time to where its charged until it dies is 18hrs with no use. I left it off all day to see how long it would last. It used to go for days. My wifi is on at all times. It hits 4g when there's no wifi. I'm on wifi pretty much all day. It almost seems like its trying to do both, or not shutting off the radio when wifi is on. I have to use airplane mode to keep a good charge all day long.

Anybody else notice this?
[Xoom Android Development] Moricon:
I am seeing some of the same. Seems to be draining a bit faster than before.

I was on r62 before upgrading to r77+

[Xoom Android Development] hourst2:
Couldn't find this anywhere else so I thought I would ask. Ever since Build 76 or 77 it installs fine, but won't get passed the boot up screen (just before the boot animation). I have wiped, re -downloaded, changed recovery, and returned to stock and nothing. Won't work. I tried 78 and 79 and same thing. If I flash 75 it works great. Any ideas?

[Xoom Android Development] rvbarton:
Hello everyone! I gotta ask this to see what the general consensus is on Netflix using the EOS ROM.

Initially, I was on EOS 66, and netflix seemed to work okay, but would stop & buffer quite a bit. When I flashed the later versions, up to 70, it just got worse. I finally got fedup with it, and reset my entire Xoom back to factory defaults on Honeycomb. Since doing this, Netflix works flawlessly. I use my Xoom at night to watch Netflix in bed alot, hence the change. Its silly, I know but it's what I use it for the most. I only have a 3mg DSL connection in my house, so I know my bandwidth sucks anyway, but is there an issue possibly with Netflix & the EOS build to cause it to suck more bandwidth or anything like that, in turn causing it to buffer more?

Can anyone comment on the functionality of the later EOS builds with netflix?
[Xoom Android Development] CUProf:
I stream Netflix in my class room fairly often on 3g (I teach science and mythbusters is great for 9th graders). I have little signal in my room too. I update to the newest nightly every time one is posted and have had no issues with excessive (or annoying) buffering at all. It's smooth every time. Perhaps it's one of those little variabilities between devices or you have something else in the background pulling bandwidth. Sorry I couldn't give you a better answer, but Netflix has never been problematic for me. (I'm on build 79 right now) Good luck if you try EOS ICS again.
[Xoom Android Development] otis_bartleh:
I stream netflix to my tv quite often at my house and a friends. No problems at either location, and the signal is good at my house, and pretty iffy at his house, yet still no issues. Sorry, wish I could help, but I have the same results as the professor...
